Genetic group and heterosis on morphometric measurements during the growth of male beef cattle

Abstract: In the present study, the effects of genetic group and heterosis on body measurements of purebreds (Charolais -C and Nellore -N), first-generation crossbreds (G1) (½ C ½ N and ½ N ½ C), and second-generation crossbreds (G2) (¾ C ¼ N and ¾ N ¼ C) males from rotational crossbreeding were evaluated at 8, 12, 18, and 24 months of age. Among the purebreds, the Nellore displayed greater rump height than the Charolais. The Charolais had greater thoracic perimeter than the Nellore, however this difference decreased gr… Show more

“…Although not significantly different, light, moderate, and heavy cows show similar abilities as progenitors, and could be considered good since they wean calves weighing around 50% of their weight (MAGNABOSCO et al, 2009). Vaz et al (2016b), when working with only two animal sizes in an Abeerden Angus herd, verified greater efficiencies at weaning from light cows than those from heavy cows, with values higher than 50% for the former. In addition to the size of the cow, the productive efficiency at weaning could be influenced by the age of weaning (VAZ; LOBATO, 2010), breed (RIBEIRO et al, 2001), mating system, level of food avaiable to the herd (VAZ et al, 2014), and cow milk production (VAZ et al, 2016a).…”

“…Nos valores e nos crescimentos de altura de garupa, quanto aos diferentes efeitos a influenciá-la, a literatura se mostra contraditória, podendo esta ser em função do grupo genético e heterose (MENEZES et al, 2008;MACHADO et al, 2014;VAZ et al, 2016), ou não ser influenciada (MOURÃO et al, 2010). Também níveis nutricionais com reflexos em diferentes ganhos de pesos não mostraram influencia no aumento de altura de garupa de novilhas de cortes mantidas em pastagens naturais (MONTANHOLI et al, 2008).…”
